When you create an account with Gmail, you will be asked to create a password. Google does not save your password in clear text. Instead, your password is encrypted and stored securely on their servers. When you enter your password to sign in to your account, it is compared to the encrypted version stored on their servers to verify your identity.

Additionally, Google offers features such as two-factor authentication and the use of a recovery email or phone number to help secure your account and ensure that only you can access it.

It’s important to note that while Google takes measures to protect your account and password, it’s always a good idea to use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account.
